Abstract:
NGOs are increasingly criticized for being ineffective agents of change, out of touch with broader social currents in society and operating in a fragmented way. Under pressure to show results, civil society donors are promoting collaboration among NGOs as a response. The assumption: NGO collaboration will lead to more direct programme impact, more effective advocacy, denser civil society eco-systems and stronger social movements. This study reveals that, with the right conditions in place, collaboration can indeed pay off.
